Diatom and environmental data

These raw data associated with this research were collected as part of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's 2018-2019 National Rivers and Streams Assessment (NRSA). The worksheet "Water chemistry data" includes environmental variables examined in this study including total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), conductivity, pH, and ecoregion. The worksheet "Diatom ASVs" includes relative abundances of gene sequence reads for each amplicon sequence variant (ASV), which are referred to as taxa. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Smucker, N., E. Pilgrim, C. Nietch, L. Gains-Germain, C. Carpenter, J. Darling, L. Yuan, R. Mitchell, and A. Pollard. Using DNA metabarcoding to characterize national scale diatom-environment relationships and to develop indicators in streams and rivers of the United States. SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT. Elsevier BV, AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 939: 173502, (2024).
